I cannot get the cdrom to work at all for the install after all of the novice setup procedures have been completed. I can however access it from any dos prompts etc. I have also tried to install from a dos partition and that has failed. It has either locked up or it has failed to install files and when it did install, it would not allow me to login as anyone nor as root. Any help, suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
